Finding and Preparing Delicious Shaggy Mane Mushrooms

- Join me as I go on a quick mushroom hunt and find some shaggy manes (Coprinus comatus). These mushrooms are fairly common here in the Pacific Northwest, relatively easy to identify, and delicious. Thanks for watching, and if you have any questions or comments (or you'd just like to say hi), please feel free to leave a comment. Cheers!

No Garlic??? My Gramps and I used to pick shaggy manes at his old cabin. He would fry them up in garlic butter and put them on our steaks. So good! Memories from when I was a kid that I will never forget.
Cooking them with garlic sounds great!
That looks delicious!!
Hey Noah great to hear from you and I hope all is well.
Mostly saying "Hi!" Always fun to see your work, and this was an impressive find! 😎✌️
Always great to hear from you, and it never quite feels like a new video is really uploaded until you check in! 😁 I hope everything is going well for you and you're enjoying the fall. Keep in touch and thanks for taking the time to say hello.
I was just up hunting and found thousands if these. Ill remember them for next year.
@@fartooshifty4u51 Great! Good luck next year!
Made mushroom gravy last week with SM. Walked out onto the porch this morning and I could see them popping up before the sun was up😊 making pizza with them this weekend. 😋 they grow all over my yard but this is the first year I have harvested. IDK why, I really like cool weather shrooms because they have less bugs😝 lol. They started in July last year, I couldn’t believe my eyes. Now I’m hoping for a great blewit harvest this year. I don’t know if it was because of it being unseasonably warm last year but I found only a couple large older ones and I usually get quite the mess of them…
Awesome! I've never made mushroom gravy with shaggy manes before, but it sounds delicious. We usually just do omelets. And yes, there's something magical about seeing new shaggy manes popping up; it seems like they appear almost overnight (maybe they do). And good luck with the blewits. I've never found them before, but then again I've never specifically looked for them either. Please feel free to drop me a line if you find some. Anyway, thanks for checking in, I enjoyed reading your post. Cheers!
Great find
Hello again everyone 👋
u don’t see them selling these in the market!
That’s because they deliquesce so fast!
Is it safe to eat these from a field near a parking lot? It’s a dirt one used for our local fair. I found about half a dozen earlier today and I want to harvest them so badly.
Congratulations on finding some shaggy manes! I can't say whether these would be OK to eat or not based on the area/soil from where you harvested them; it's your call. Also, please be absolutely certain that they really are shaggy mane mushrooms. The best would be to consult someone locally that has expertise in mushrooms who could confirm this for you. Even if you don't eat them this time, it's great that you found some and got to practice your mushroom identification. Know that there will be other opportunities in the future. Good luck!
Mushrooms tend to be really good at picking up nutrients and chemicals from soil. They will often have a higher concentration of metals or other chemicals than the soil they grow in. I’d avoid eating any from somewhere you know may have road runoff, fertilizer, or harsh chemicals
@@dylantrainer1677 Good points! Agreed.
How does one get to be 100PCT CERTAIN that they're Shaggy Manes? There are scores of mushrooms on the lawns around here that certainly look very, very similar to the ones in this video. But what's the secret to identifying them with Cartesian certainty?
That's a very good point. Of course one can never be exactly 100% certain of anything. But I meant it more colloquially, not scientifically/literally. For example, if you saw people in the grocery store buying regular old white button mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus) and asked, "Are you 100% certain those are safe to eat?", I suspect most people would just say yes. In other words, one's certainty should be close enough to 100% such that the small amount of uncertainty always present is inconsequential. And your comment reminded me of a story from my past: The church I got married in had my wife and I do a pre-marriage quiz. There was one item, "I am 100% certain this is the person I want to marry." My wife, a very loving person and not a scientist by training, answered "I agree." I answered "I disagree" for the reasons we're discussing. Nobody could imagine I would answer that way, and they assumed I just made a mistake on the quiz. I explained it to my wife later, we had a good laugh, and are still married today.
@@WesternEclectic There were hundreds of them around my neighbourhood a few weeks ago. Now they've all liquified into ink. Are they liable to come back again anytime soon? Or do they only sprout once a year or something?
@@lane99 A good question. I'm not certain, but I think there's a chance that additional shaggy manes may still come up this season. If nothing else, you'll know what to look out for next season; I've noticed they tend to come up in the same areas every year. And the fact they liquified is a nice confirmation that they were indeed shaggy manes.
When they get slightly inky, are they still edible?
Good question! My family and I have often eaten them when the bottom of the caps are just starting to turn black. I just cut that part off and it has never been an issue. If, however, a lot of the cap has already turned to black goo, then I pass. One of the challenges with shaggy makes is that they're so ephemeral: They seem to spring up overnight, and deliquesce in a short time. At any rate, please remember the golden rule of mushroom hunting: If in doubt, throw it out! Good luck and happy hunting.
I'm gonna harvest me some. Thanks!
Good luck!
